F1 2018 Day 1 update or not?

Recommended Posts

Monday is pay day for me and I willbe pre ordering my copy of F1 2018, BUT I live in the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa and internet access is very limited.
Does F1 2018 need a day 1 upgrade in order to play it? 
@Faya , are you able to help?

If you come to Gauteng around that time by any chance, I live in Centurion, so you are welcome to get it from me.

Steam version.

Thanks very much - i'm getting the xbone version as I'm paying R350/10gb out here.
Are you a part of the MEW forum? Been chatting about this game quite a bit.

I think it has to be able to start as shipped on disc, but there will definitely be a day one patch. They aren't always that big though, but even so maybe a fair whack of 10gb

Thank you, if need be I will take my console into town and get the IT shop to do it for me. I buy them a bottle of vape juice and they update for me.

To answer the question on Day 1 Patch - since the game has "gone gold" now (a.k.a. finalized release version), we will definetely get some Day 0 - Day 1 patching.

Can’t really remember the last time I played a game that didn’t have a day 1 patch.. even something as polished as god of war had like 2-3 patches during this first week.

with the beta still running or going into next phase from what I hear.. expect a day one patch maybe a few more in days to follow too

There will definitely be day 1 patch, it's for every game. Is it needed in order to play? For online yes, for offline almost certainly not.

Sorry for the late reply, been on confrence.
Thats almost psycic that you know my small village. Ye the local shop owners are friends and have offered to update my stuff should I need any updates. haven't taken them up on the offer yet as I did a big update at my boets a couple weeks ago. 
Nice thing about a small community, people actually care about one another

Haha just an educated guess. :) Whenever we go to the South coast, we drive that road so we can see the Drakensberg close-up, and Winterton is one of the bigger towns nearby.

And I can definitely agree on the small town thing. I am so gatvol of Gauteng.

Just to let you know..

I bought the game yesterday and had to download an update with the size of 9,6 GB.
On what platform? :)
I would say on Xbox since I bought it on PS4 and had a 8GB patch to download

I live right up in the mountains, near the drakensberg boys choir school. I couldn't handle GP, too much traffic

There was an update last night on Xbox One to 1.03.

I suspect this is the "Day 1 Patch", uploaded early in order to be ready for Friday.
